[R-sig-ME] citable references for profile likelihood CIs

[Matthew Wolak]

Hi Jake,

Meyer (2008. Likelihood calculations to evaluate experimental designs to
estimate genetic variances. Heredity. 101:212-221) makes a rather
compelling case for using profile likelihood CIs and does a good job
explaining them.

Sincerely,
Matthew

Does anyone have suggestions for good references I can cite that explain basically how it works and why profile CIs are a Good Thing? All justificationary purposes aside, I would actually be interested in reading some of these myself.
